Your mobile phone rings and instead of the usual electronic signals it’s playing your favourite music.A friend sends your favourite song to cheer you up.One day,a record company might forward new records and music videos to your phone.
The mobile business is getting into the music business.For the moment,the interest is in pleasant ring tones,but some companies are hoping to take full advantage of the next generation of mobile phones—all purpose gadgets that blend phone,personal stereo,video player and Internet browser into one.
Finally,record companies might send new records and videos to fans who register their cell phone numbers.
The fans could pass music or songs along to friends—a kind of musical trading card.Unlike Internet tracks,mobile downloads would be easy for record companies to control,said former record industry official Ralph,Simon,who is now chairman of Yourmobile,based in Santa Monic,California.
“If you pass a song along to other phones through a network,each phone can be charged,” said Simon.“It’s like going through toll gate (收費站).There’s more possibility for copyright control than there is on the Internet.”
Massachusetts-based Converse is offering service in Portugal and the Netherlands that lets people record tunes on their voice mail or send music as presents to friends.Finally,people might be able to sing karaoke and pass them along.The company is sure that people will want to use music to reach out and touch someone.
“A mobile phone is not a listening machine,and you’ll be disappointed if you think you can change it into a radio,” said Ouzel,a creative manager for Converse in Israel.“But if someone sends you a song while you’re on vacation,you appreciate the feeling.”
72.The underlined word “blend” in the second paragraph most probably means _____.
A.send B.come C.mix D.compare
73.“Massachusetts-based Converse”in the sixth paragraph probably refers to ______.
A.a person B.a city in Israel
C.a state of the USA D.a company
74.Record companies ______ the idea of passing songs and music along mobile phones.
A.are worried about B.are interested in
C.try hard to stop D.take no notice of

Do you ever run out of great books to read? So what should I read next? Is fast-paced crime fiction your thing?
Try the new Patricia Cornwell book, Scarpetta(Putnam). She is such an able writer and handles complex forensic(法庭的) intelligence with ease. You need to be prepared, though, for the world you're entering—this isn't for the faint of heart, let's say.
If peace is more your thing, try Mary Pipher's wonderful new book, Seeking Peace: Chronicles of the Worst Buddhist in the World (Riverhead). Mary is a lovely, comfortable writer who takes the reader through her personal awakening after reputation and fortune came her way. Even if you've never experienced life as a bestselling writer (as she has done, in her book years back, Reviving Ophelia), you'll totally understand and sympathize with her renewed need for privacy, distance and quiet.
What if you want a straightforward, totally thrilling read with vivid characters, set about World War II? You cannot go wrong with Jim Lehrer's new novel, Oh, Johnny(Random House), about a young Marine whose life is changed forever when he meets a woman on his way to war. His relationship with her lasts him through danger and hardship, and there's an impressive ending. See our interview with the productive novelist/newsman in the current issue of Reader's Digest (March, on stands now), by the way, for insight into the very talented Mr. Lehrer and what interests him.
Well, what about something wickedly funny and totally offbeat? Does the name Carrie Fisher do anything for you? Try her vivid and new life in Hollywood and elsewhere, Wishful Drinking(Simon & Schuster). Be prepared for humor as sharp as knives.
【小題1】 What does the writer want to tell us by the underlined sentence?
A.The world is complex and hard. | B.Scarpetta is a thriller. |

Millions of people will be able to track each and every move by friends and family through their mobile phones,thanks to a new feature launched by Google yesterday.
The new system named “Latitude” uses a map to show exactly where a loved one is at any time, sometimes discovering their location to a few meters.Worried parents will be able to check up on where their children have got to after school, friends can meet for a quick drink if they see they are nearby and wives will be able to see if their husbands really are working late at the office.
The feature was made available immediately on millions of mobile phones that can access the web,such as the Black Berry.Within weeks Google hopes to launch a new one that will also work on computers as well.
“Once you've shared your location,you can hide it from all of your friends at once,or you can turn off Google Latitude completely at any time.” said a Google spokesman.“You can adjust your privacy settings in Latitude so that you share as much or as little about your location as you want,with whom you want.”
Google said that the company had tested the product with thousands of people to make sure that it was safe for the customers,but experts were not so sure.Simon Davies,director of Privacy International,said Latitude would open up a “privacy minefield(危險地帶)”.
“It's about the little white lies.You might be avoiding going to work, and now your boss might be able to see that you're at Twickenham instead of at home.”said Ian Angell, an information expert at the London School of Economics.“You've already got mobile phone technology where husbands and wives track each other in secret.Now Google is so widely used that it will only worsen the situation.”

A.prove that the partner has told a lie about working late
B.tell the parents the locations of their children after school
C.provide the friends with the most suitable pub for a drink
D.help people find what their loved ones are doing at any time
61. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 probably refers to ___________.
A.the new system B. the Google company

第II卷(共45分)
第四部分 書面表達(共二節(jié),滿分15分)
閱讀下面短文,并根據短文后的要求答題。(請注意問題后的字數要求)
If you’ve decided on a career in the media, you should be sick to death with people telling you how competitive the industries are.
But that may mean that you will find it a little disappointing when you enter a place where perhaps no one will ask you your name, or say hello to you in the morning, and where you are being perhaps not paid to do a job.
There are a number of training schemes offered across the media, which are great routes in. Simon Winder was given his start in publishing by MacMillan’s training scheme. I was sent out to Africa and Asia for a couple of years, selling educational books. It was a terrible job in many ways but interesting training,” said Winder. Because he had learnt first-hand experience about the business of publishing, his training prepared him for a career in the industry. On his return to England, Winder made the move to a senior position at Penguin seven years age.
If you can’t get on to a training scheme, or get a paid job straight away, then ______________ will open up many opportunities to you. It is all about proving that you can do the job. “Identify companies and people whose programs you like, and then simply write to them,” Cinneck advised those wanting to break into television,” Offer to work for free if you possibly can, and the chances are you will impress with your hard work and ideas, and end up staying on in paid employment. That’s how practically every employee of Ten Alps ended up with the company.
Wherever you start out, if you work hard at what you do, your efforts will be rewarded. “Don’t focus on where you want to end up,” advised Ross, “You’ll know where that is when you’re there; just stay focused on the job in hand, and do that as well as you can.”
76. Fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)
___________________________________________________________________________
77. The passage mentions two ways that you can enter the media. Please list them. (Please answer within 10 words.)
_________________________________________________________________________
78. Translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
________________________________________________________________________
79. What’s the main idea of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)
_________________________________________________________________________
80. As a whole, what attitude should you have while trying to enter the media industry? (Please answer within 10 words.)
_________________________________________________________________________
